Eachyear, facultymembersselected a group of jW1iors and seniors who excelled in many areas to be part of "Who's Who Among Stud ents in American Universities and Colleges." This year, 64 students who dis– played high academic and personal charac ter were published in the book, which has honored esteemed groups of American college students since 1934. Senior Brian Dolinger appreciated the prestige associated with theaward. " I was really honored to be picked for Who's Who," Dolinger said. "I know it is a prestigious award and I was thankful to be nominated . It will definitely be useful on reswnes and trying to find a job later." During the fall semester, profes– sors nominated students who they be– Heved stood above the rest inacadem– ics, community service and lead ership skills. Nominees then completed an activity sheet. Dr. Jerome Barnes, director of spe– cial projects, handled the nominations. After all nominations were submitted, faculty members selected their top choices based on the activity sheets, the student's grade point average and extracurricula racti vities for theWho's Who honor. Senior Cara Sheumaker said she appreciated the Who's Who award because it was not merely awarded on the basis of grades, but by professors who played an active role in the aca– demic lives of their students. "It's an honor to know that our professors recognize the hard work that we put into our classes," Sheumaker said. Senior Jordan Hix said he also ap– preciated his professors' role in his accomplishments. "I would like to honor some of my teachers ina similar way," Hix said. "They are the ones who have helped me along the way."
